Due to a rise in political tensions that plagued the nascent [[Lucrecia]] during much of the 17th Century, there was a fear that granting the role of [[dictator (Lucrecia)|dictator]] to a [[Senator of Lucrecia|senator]], as was customary for past dictatorships, would give that senator what would essentially be a twelve-month {{wp|blank cheque}} to purge any and all political rivals. The [[Consuls of Lucrecia|Consuls]], wishing to preserve the Republic, came up with a very unusual plan. Instead of granting the role of dictator to a senator, they would instead invite a member of a prominent [[Occidental]] royal family to serve as the republic's [[royal dictator|permanent designated dictator]], a role that would be inherited by their descendants. In 1685, [[Neill I, Grand Duke in Lucrecia|Archduke Niall of Urcea]], member of the House de Weluta, was invited by the Consuls to take on the newly-created and highly ceremonial Lucrecian throne. | |||
As soon as Niall was enthroned as the first [[Royalty in Lucrecia|Grand Duke in Lucrecia]], the Consuls granted him the role of dictator for twelve months during which he was able to put an end to the decades-long tensions, thus saving the republic from imminent civil war. Through Niall, now Neill I, the direct Caroline line would keep the grand ducal title until 1884 when [[Neill III, Grand Duke in Lucrecia|Neill III]] died without a male heir. Instead of the throne being passed to his brother [[Prince Miguel-Neill in Lucrecia|Prince Miguel-Neill]], because Neill III had changed the laws of succession to allow for regnant grand duchesses the throne was passed to his eldest daughter [[Maria-Adelaida, Grand Duchess in Lucrecia|Maria-Adelaida]], who reigned for over eighty years until her death in 1967. Through Maria-Adelaida and her two successors [[Isabel, Grand Duchess in Lucrecia|Isabel]] and [[Veronica, Grand Duchess in Lucrecia|Veronica]], the Lucrecian royal house changed three times. From the Carolines to the "House of Velucia Cerda", from Velucia Cerda to the "House of Velucia Quiñones", and from Velucia Quiñones to the "[[House of Velucia Alba]]", which currently holds the Lucrecian throne under [[Amadeo II, Grand Duke in Lucrecia|Grand Duke Amadeo II]]. | |||
Through Prince Miguel-Neill, there exists an alternative line of succession known as [[Miguelism]]. It is the last remnants of the direct Caroline line in Lucrecia, currently headed by [[Prince Juan-Alfonso in Lucrecia|Prince Juan-Alfonso]] since 2003, his branch of the Lucrecian royal family was finally given succession precedence in 2015; his line, instead of the Leonorean line (descendants of Maria-Adelaida's twin sister [[Princess Leonor in Lecrecia|Princess Leonor]]), will succeed the Marian line should the latter die out in the future. | |||
